Handcrafted for the well-traveled craft beer enthusiast. We created our flagship DIPA holding to the standard of the style. The hop bill consists of a Magnum, Cascade, and a massive amount of Summit additions at various times throughout the boil as well as dry hopping. A big and bold beer.ABV 9% IBU’s 75

An immensely smooth, full-bodied and rich beverage that uses 8 different varieties of grain. The addition of lactose to the boil boosts the creaminess & sweetness. A small addition of Willamette hops provide just the right amount of bitterness. ABV 7% IBU’s 28

Part of our "Uncharted Series" this handcrafted Double IPA is again created for the well-traveled craft beer enthusiast. The variety of 7 different hops gives it a pleasant up front tropical fruity aroma. The first sip is bursting with bitterness that quickly fades into a slight almost honey like sweetness. It's a craft beer drinker's beer (and not recommended for those with feeble taste). ABV 9% IBU’s 75
